In the short history of modern musicology, the discovery of a “new” and important manuscript is a rare and exciting event. In the case of the Carlo G manuscript, it was not just that an important manuscript suddenly appeared, but also that it quickly disappeared again. After 400 years of oblivion, this is the debut of the mysterious Carlo G and his music. The musical content of his manuscript provides vivid testimony to the unique repertoire and performance practices of liturgical music in Italy of the early 17th century.

DIAPASON DÉCOUVERTE!

- Toccata altemusik, Robert Stroll (91/2017)
"Die Einspielung ist absolut überzeugend und für mich ein Muss. Denn das ist nicht nur new entdeckte Renaissance-Literatur; das ist auch und vor allem erstkallig umgesetzt, mit einam Spitzeninstrument, einem Spitzen-Oranisten, mit erstklassigen und einfühlsamen Instrumentalisten. Und die Gesangsparts sind einfach nur noch makellos schön - hier vermisse ich absolut nichts."

Gramophone, Lindsay Kemp (10/2017)
"In places intimate, in others ravishing, these pieces are a delightful find, and are beautifully performed, recorded and presented."
